I read somewhere the other day that some have suggested that this song is ‘too long’ and that a shorter version would be just as effective…
I’d have to disagree, I think that the slow pace and repetitive melody adds a certain hypnotic quality, offering a perfect backdrop for the bluesy harmonica to strut about…it’s great!
‘Graveyard Train’ is quite a dark song but its raw bluesy melody doesn’t allude to anything else and lets face it, a song with this title isn’t going to be a happy sunshiny trip now is it!
This track appears on Creedence Clearwater Revival’s second studio album, ‘Bayou Country’ which was released in January 1969 via Fantasy Records. If you have a spare 8 minutes, check it out.
